I am Super EXCITED to announce that I made the Birthday Sundaes Design Team!! I am so honored! They always feature really fun Challenges and have some really great Design Team members, who always provide inspiration week after week!

These photos are some of my favorite ones! :) These feature, our son Ethan (He was 6), our nephew Ryan (He was 4) and our daughter Bella (she was 2). They love playing outside in the water and with bubbles.

Today is another Monday! Last Monday I tried to cut fabric for these onesies and I just got frustrated and nothing turned out. So several YouTube vidoes later, I finally found the method that worked perfectly for me! YAY!!

I made these for two friends of mine that have recently had baby girls. I love how they turned out and wanted to share!

Now that I know how to do it, I'm Hooked!! :) I hope they like these!
Thanks so much for looking and don't forget to link your project to Made it Myself Mondays and to check out the other faulous projects!
Have a wonderfully Crafty Monday!! :)

I got this awesome Blog award from my Wonderful Friend, Stacey at Stacey's Creative Corner.
Check out her blog, she is truly one amazing and talented crafter!
Thanks So Much Stacey!

Here are the rules for the A Thing of Beauty Award:

I must share 5 things about myself (1 of the listed items must be something about crafting) and then pass the award to 5 other blogs.

5 things:
1. I love, love, love......Did I say Love? Coffee!! Haha Yes even when its 98 degrees outside! ;)
2. I adore all things Hello Kitty!
3. I love altering items and playing with vinyl on my Cricut.
4. I love sending cards to my Crafty Friends :) and of course getting them! ;)
5. My goal this year was to get on a Design Team and I got on 4 amazing ones!! I'm one lucky girl and love them all!

I thought it would be fun to do a western card with the cuts from this page.
Remember for this Challenge you can ONLY use the cuts from this page and no other Cricut cartridge cuts, include card bases and basic shapes! :)

Today I want to share two 8x8 Layouts that are going in a baby album for some great friends of ours.

I wanted to include something with a summer theme and that was our Challenge over at Queen of My Craftroom Design Team.

Recipe:
I used two pagemaps Mini-Maps from October 2008.
I used the Simply Charmed Cartridge for my Cones and my "i love summer."
My patterned paper is the Echo Park Summer Days.
Which I just LOVE!
The cardstock is from Colorbok.
I used my Sew-Easy on both pages.
I put sweet Peachy Keen faces on the ice cream cones and then put Glossy Accents for some shine.
I used some vinyl Thickers for my "treats" word then put stardust stickles on them.
Thanks for Looking and don't forget to check out what the rest of the Design team came up with!
Have a great day!

Recipe:
Wild card- Doily card cut at 5.
Stampin Up Pretty In Pink for my card base, Rose Red for my flowers and circle, Certainly Celery and Very Vanilla for cirlces and Flowers.
The patterned paper is from Making Memories.
I used the Martha Stewart Butterfly punch and embossed my Butterfly.
The sentiment is a G Studio Stamp.
I used Viva Decor Pearl Pen for the flower centers.
I added some ribbon and some pearls from my stash.
Thanks for looking and check out these great Challenge blogs!Have a great day!

I am so SUPER excited & honored to be one of the new Design Team members!

This is our first challenge.

Pg. 39 only From Simply Charmed.

You can only use that page and no other cartridges!

Definitely a challenge but a really fun one!

Here is what I came up with.

I decorated a craft gift bag and made a small card to match it, welded on my gypsy. All my paper is from Colorbok except the orange which is Pumpkin Pie from Stampin Up and the Patterned paper is Open stock from JoAnn's. I used a Stampin Up border punch on the bag, swiss dots embossing folder with some light sanding, White gel pen for some doodling and my Peachy Keen Princess Faces for my flowers. So Sweet!!!
I hope you enjoyed my project! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Check out the M.A.G. Challenge by The Page blog to see what the Design Team came up with
and I invite you to "challenge" yourself and participate!
